I wanna get into Klezmer music and other Jewish folk. I'm a big fan of Black Ox Orkestar and when I was in Prague in the Jewish quarter I really enjoyed some of the street bands.

Anyone have any good recommendations in the chill Trip-hop vein? Looking for some music to fall asleep to. Right now I listen to Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps, Zero 7. Looking for something new.

Hey, I'm looking for a few different things, hoping someone can point me in a good direction

Looking for something sad in the vein of The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2.

I've had Mount Eerie and La Dispute both recommended to me, but I'm not sure what albums I should start with for these bands, any fans able to point me toward a starting point?

Lastly, a long shot, is there anything similar to this (screamo/skramz? emoviolence?) track? I haven't been able to find anything that even comes close to the back half (skip to 2:50 if you want) - Cold Like December - Excerpts From the Note Wrapped Around the Brick I Put Through Your Window:

Maybe a little more prog rock than trip hop, but check out Archive - You All Look the Same to Me or at least the first track:

Mount Eerie and La Dispute are extremely different artists so I'm not sure if those are trustworthy recommendations (though Phil Elverum is behind both the Microphones and Mount Eerie), but La Dispute's best album by far is Wildlife. It's also extremely sad so I guess that fits, but it's pretty intense post-hardcore.

I know they're very different artists, I should have said the recommendations were in very different contexts. I'll check out Wildlife, thank you very much!

Also I don't know a ton about Mount Eerie but his last album, A Crow Looked at Me, is the saddest poo poo I've ever heard. He has a follow up out this week that's streaming as well but I haven't checked it out yet.

OK so this is perhaps an odd one.

There is a videogame, called Sea of Thieves, and in that videogame there are Traditional Instruments, and I'm quite taken by the way they perform some quite somber and melancholy instrumental versions of what I assume are traditional shanties.

I've since had a poke around on the Spotifies and such but the shanty collections are, well, boring and flat.

The shanties from Assassin's Creed Black Flag were really enjoyable. Most if not all of those are a cappella if I remember right so that might be the opposite of what you're looking for. I don't know if they ever released an album but there should be videos on youtube of them.

I appreciate that this is a really vague request but I guess it's worth a go

I've been listening to Asa-Chang and Junray, and I doubt there's anything similar to them but I'm looking for something else that might scratch the same itch. More specifically, I like how their best stuff is really beautiful and pretty and melodic, and also experimental and really quite weird in the way that they play around with choppy spoken word/percussion and really unpredictable and strange rhythm and timing changes. Again, I don't expect to find anything particularly similar, but I always appreciate music that is classically beautiful but also in some way completely out of the ordinary. If that makes you think of something, I'm interested to know what. Specifically not really interested in improv stuff though

I was about to write basically this exact same post, but about the Books instead, so I appreciate people writing all the answers before I asked!

Yeah, Mount Eerie is basically the same band and Phil just changed the name. No Flashlight is probably the closest to sounding like The Glow, being the earliest. Dawn and Lost Wisdom are both really quiet and mostly acoustic, so probably the least like The Microphones. His other more recent albums incorporate some black metal and drone, and I generally think they're his best stuff, but maybe not so much what you're asking for. Still, I started out being blown away by The Glow Pt 2 and moved on to loving everything else Phil's done, so maybe you will too. Sauna is really really good okay?

A Crow Looked At Me is the album Phil wrote after his wife died of cancer two years ago, and I basically can't listen to it because it's so personal. I'd have to agree with Henchman in how sad it is. It feels like something he wrote as therapy for himself.

As for other bands, the most obvious to me are neutral milk hotel, giles corey, and sufjan stevens. La dispute is an interesting recommendation and not one I'd have thought of. It makes me think you might wanna check out mewithoutyou as well. They're kinda somewhere in between mt eerie and la dispute in that they're kind of a post hardcore band, but they've also put out some really folksy material while being introspective and sad. Listen to the album catch for us the foxes. Planning for Burial is good if you're after atmospheric music made by clearly depressed dudes.

Having listened to the new Mount Eerie album now, Now Only is more musically compelling than Crow while drawing from the same lyrical well.

I don't know how to find more stuff like it.

I can't stand "chill" miles davis, which to me is like nails being driven into my head its so harsh and shrill. I want drunk on wine, late at night chilled way the gently caress out jazz but when you search for such things you get a lot of stuff that is just nowhere near as dark and muted as that song.

John Coltrane is an obvious choice. I really dig The Bad Plus, but that may not be exactly what you're looking for.

I'm trying to identify artists who are might fit into a combination of shoegaze + vapor + glitch + hipster R&B.
Or maybe one could ironically call it the "Spotify Sound."

Bands I'm listening to these days include:
Blank Banshee
The Acid
Cocteau Twins
My Bloody Valentine
Sylvan Esso
Tobacco
Whirr
Com Truise
Trentemøller
Glass Animals
Little Dragon
Washed Out
Chromatics
Son Lux
Beacon
Black Atlass

Hi recommendation thread...


I'm looking for tracks (or artists) that have a sort of wall of sound/distortion sound over ethereal drone sounds (The Disintegration Loops sort of thing). Track wise a good example would be the ending of Clark's Peak Magnetic and even James Holden's mix of The Sky Was Pink.

Eluvium's "False Readings On" does this in a couple songs, but this song in particular is a great example. Be aware, long build.

that's pretty much everything by Stars of the Lid. Windy & Carl did a lot of stuff like that, too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in58Qmuc3tA

bands like Spacemen 3, Sigur Ros, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are gonna have lots of moments like that, too, but not necessarily entire songs. i can think of more in that vein, but based on the other two things you posted, i'm not entirely sure if this kind stuff is what you're after.

Yeah, Stars of the Lid are great- perhaps more drone than distortion though. The others are all bands I like but I guess I'd probably be looking more at tracks/artists with electronic leanings. That track you linked is fantastic by the way.
